Mourinho refused to go in detail about the incident on Tuesday in his pre-match press conference before United take on Bournemouth on Wednesday night.

A reporter asked Mourinho if he thought the FA were considering punishing any United player of staff, and the Red Devils boss snapped back at him.He said: ‘Why? I think you work for another club and not for the press.’ There was another short spell of questions that were about the brawl before Mourinho stood up and ended the press conference.

As the United boss was walking out he accused the media of showing a lack of respect for Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe and his players. ‘You don’t like Bournemouth eh? You don’t respect them,’ Mourinho said. ‘You don’t think they are a team capable to come to Old Trafford and do well. No respect for Eddie Howe. No respect for their players.’ Mourinho has already suggested that City lacked class and were the ones at fault for the brawl breaking out.

The United manager initially told reporters he would not answer questions about the incident at the start of the presser before aiming a dig at the City stars. ‘He says, he says. I’m not here to comment his words,’ said Mourinho. ‘The only thing I can say is that for me it was just a question of diversity. Diversity in behaviour, diversity in education, just that and nothing more than that.'S: metro

Speaking exclusively to MUTV following the pre-match press conference at the Aon Training Complex, @josemourinho gave this update on Marcos: "He's a brave guy. I don't know how he is - let's see if he can be ready for the match. But if he's not ready, we have other alternatives to play." As Jose then pointed out, our options at centre-back have been boosted: "Phil Jones was already on the bench at the weekend. The injury is behind him and hopefully he can stay fit for the rest of the games." Eric Bailly is still unavailable and the Ivory Coast international has not featured for the Reds since the Chelsea game on 5 November. Meanwhile, it is believed that Marouane Fellaini is edging closer to making his own return from injury, although Mourinho did not mention the Belgian midfielder on Tuesday. Nemanja Matic shrugged off an injury to start against Man City at the weekend and our summer signing is presumed to be fit to face Bournemouth at Old Trafford.

@josemourinho makes huge claim about #CristianoRonaldo “My children never saw Pelé play but they know who he is,” he explained. “And in 40 years from now, kids will know who Cristiano is.” “Cristiano, along with the other player’s I’ve named will always be part of football history.” “They are indescribable”.
